    Not too common and I already have a valve. Will probably depend on what the cost is.

      I have a classic valve that is double tapped. got it on trade, don't know who did the work but it was done very clean. have not aired it up, cuz no air and need to hydro my tanks. but I don't see a problem with it not working.

          Valve isn't worth trading. Came with a milled back that I sold already. Essentially I have zero into this valve, so even if it's $20-25 it will be cheaper than finding and buying a reverse.

            I did this just to see if it could be done. I drilled and tapped a classic valve once and had no functioning problems. the Stainless was a bear to tap but either a cap or gauge worked on either side. I even aired it from both sides at once for fun, double ported vasa and macro up both sides. No change in re-charge time just did it for fun and to weird out people at the field. Sold it later but I don't remember to whom. If you try this use a good new tap and gallons of oil cause if you break that tap off its a bear to get out and that stainless is hard.
            I took the road least traveled...now where the hell am I ?

              Tooling is not cheap to do these, it will run right about $100 get set up.
